Publisher Description
*An instant Sunday Times bestseller*
A smart, funny, anarchic and gripping memoir from Mark Hoppus, the vocalist, bassist, and founding member of pop-punk band blink-182.
This is a story of what happens when an angst-ridden kid who grew up in the desert experiences his parents' bitter divorce, moves around the country, switches identities from dork to goth to skate punk, and eventually meets his best friend who just so happens to be his musical soulmate.
Bassist, songwriter, and vocalist for renowned pop-punk trailblazers blink-182, Mark Hoppus, tells his story in Fahrenheit-182. A memoir that paints a vivid picture of what it was like to grow up in the 1980s as a latchkey kid hooked on punk rock, skateboards, and MTV; Mark Hoppus shares how he came of age and forms one of the biggest bands of his generation. Threaded through with the very human story of a constant battle with anxiety and Mark's public battle and triumph over cancer, Fahrenheit-182 is a delight for fans and also a funny, smart, and relatable memoir for anyone who has wanted to quit but kept going.

Amazing
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Well done Mark, thank you for telling your story
I laughed and cried out loud.
A friend ordered the signed copy and wouldn’t let me read it…
So I got the audio book.
It wasn’t on my radar, however, I found myself making excuses to do things that would allow me to listen to it as quickly as I could!
I am not a super crazy Blink or Mark fan I like both - just not a groupie - so I was going in with no knowledge of almost 100% of this book.
I loved every chapter. I think it hooked me in because I loved the way he speaks about his parent’s separation and the role he took. I feel that.
I’m listening to it again.
